The equipment currently on offer in the gym is fast approaching 9 years old, is very dated and in need of replacement. Technology makes health, fitness and wellbeing more accessible and introducing new equipment will allow us to introduce technology advances over the last decade.

In line with the university strategy we want to improve student and staff health and wellbeing and changing the equipment will help assist us in achieving that. Replacing the equipment will also aid retention and drive new sales and positively enhance the experience for students, staff and members of the local community Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs).
